About Me

I'm a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, an artist, a dreamer, a dancer, a sewist, a knitting wannabe, a coffee addict, white wine lover, a book lover, a chauffeur, a personal chef for a family of five, a sometimes diva, a joker, a little sarcastic, a little sensitive, a little wild, a little free...just a girl. Just me.
So what is this blog all about? It's about making a life for me and mine. It's a little sewy, knitty, cooky, decoraty way for me to share all my creative endeavors. All the attempts,the successes and the failures. Come along for the ride!

Thanks for stopping by

I have an INSANE amount of fabric. I mean I-N-S-A-N-E. It's really my only vice. I love being able to go out in the garage (you see it won't all fit in the house) and pick out a beautiful piece of fabric and being able to make whatever I'd like in that moment. The problem is I keep finding more fabric that I like. I just purchased 5 yards of this gorg. linen to make a Collette dress for myself. And of course I picked up a few of the DSQ prints from Joann's (only the green and blues...the red seems too much like 4th of July to me), I have tons of precut fabrics and plans in my head. I wish I could sew as fast as I come up with ideas...alas, I don't seem able to manage it. One of my goals for 2012 and isn't it one every year is to sew from my stash and stop shopping. I'm putting it out there...again. I've been doing better. I've only added a few yards (ok, maybe a few more than a few) to my stash last year, but I did make a point to make many items just from what I already have. That's also bled over into other parts of my life, which is a good thing. Anyway, I've been commissioned by friend and family to make 4 quilts in the new year. I'm making a point to use fabric I already own. I'll be sure to share the results of the stash quilts.
